It turned out that since Liu Mang suffered the defeat, he knew that it would be difficult to defeat Shu Yan with his remaining forces, so he asked for assistance from other Hun soldiers roaming nearby. Another 20,000 soldiers were transferred, planning to make a blitzkrieg attack on Ruyin City, attack the south gate by surprise, and enter the city from the south gate. If the blitzkrieg failed, the 20,000 soldiers besieged the east and south gates, and Liu Mang's headquarters, which was originally stationed in the north of the city, besieged the west and north gates, forming a siege of Ruyin City.

Liu Mang didn't expect Shu Yan's reaction to be so fast. The plot to blitz the southern city did not succeed, so he had to close his troops to the city as planned, and surrounded Ruyin City on all sides with reinforcements.

After resting all night, in the early morning of the second day, a thick smoke rose into the air in the north of the city, Liu Mang commanded his troops to attack the city, and the other three Xiongnu siegers also corresponded at the same time. Suddenly, the drums of war shook, shouting and killing, the ladder was elevated, and the feathered arrows were flying.

The city wall of Ruyin was originally in disrepair. Shu Yan expected that there might be a besieged one. In preparation for a rainy day, the city wall was strengthened long before the first arrival of the Huns. In particular, the loss of the women's wall was repaired, which provided great security for the soldiers defending the city.

The Huns first sent crossbowmen to shoot at the defenders on the city wall, hoping to use this as cover, and the ladder men had a good chance to push the siege ladder close to the city wall. Although the defending side has a condescending advantage, it is also difficult to defend if more than a dozen siege ladders are erected under the base of the city at the same time, and thousands of people bravely climb to the top together. And the besiegers who were selected were all brave and healthy men who were one in a hundred, and the side that was originally besieging the city had the advantage of momentum, as long as one or two places broke the defense, so that some soldiers attacked the city wall, it was like a broken embankment, out of control, and it could not be recovered if it wanted to be recovered.

Therefore, the defenders try not to give the besieging side a chance to approach the city walls. Twenty or thirty catapults were erected on each wall. The other side is also equipped with catapults. However, their equipment was not as well-made as Shu Yan's, and Shu Yan's artillery carriage was set on the city wall several zhang high, condescending, and its firing range exceeded that of the other party by several times. Even if the opponent advances to the nearest place at the risk of death, this catapult device can still adjust the range of the fire, and as long as the pull is reduced, it can attack the close range.

Since Ruyin City is besieged, there is no absolutely sufficient stone to throw in the city, and it must be controlled to use the school It is true that if the besiegers are not afraid of mass casualties, the defenders of the city will not hesitate to throw out the stones. Of course, the Huns did not dare to attack on a large scale regardless of life or death, after all, their own numbers were also limited, and no one wanted their soldiers to die in vain.

However, catapults also have the disadvantage of being effective against densely populated enemies, and if the enemies are too sparse and scattered, they will not be as effective as they could be. Therefore, the Huns changed their tactics and attacked in a dispersed way. At this point, the defenders shoot with bows and arrows. The same is a fight with bows and arrows, and the defenders have a female wall as cover, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of the besieging side.

How many soldiers are scattered under the city is secondary, and the most important thing is to prevent the ladder from being erected. The ladder for attacking the city is not a simple long wooden ladder like the common people used to go to the house, it is often multi-level and multi-structured, like a large wooden cage that can be climbed, and there are large thick wooden planks around and at the top to protect against bows and arrows. Generally, a single rockfall weighing dozens of pounds can not cause substantial damage to it after three or five smashes. At this time, the main goal of the catapult is to target the ladder. As soon as the ladder is close, it will immediately be smashed down by a large bag of flying stones. After a few times, not only people couldn't stand it, but most of the ladder was also damaged.

Although the four route armies of the east, west, south and north attacked at the same time, there was never a single person who could successfully climb the city wall. Liu Mang saw that it was fruitless, and his subordinates were exhausted and angry, but he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops back to the camp.

The defenders in the city were also physically and mentally exhausted, and when they saw the enemy retreating, they breathed a sigh of relief, and rotated in batches, some of them were on guard, and some were resting. The people of the city spontaneously cooked rice, soup cakes and other foods and came to offer condolences.

Shu Yan went back and forth between the four doors, which was the most laborious one. Although the enemy retreated, they could not rest like others. He made a round between the four gates, checking the casualties of the soldiers in various places, as well as taking stock of the problems exposed by the city's defense after the actual battle.

Finally, we will inspect the southern city. The Xiongnu four-way soldiers, except for the northern city, are the strongest in the southern city. Shu Yan stood on the city wall, taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, through the layers of camp tents where the enemy soldiers flashed with swords and swords, and couldn't help but look in the direction of his hometown, and his heart was infinitely sad and pathetic.

I have experienced many joys and sorrows with my two wives, and then I chose to stay away from Luoyang Eryu and my deceitful right and wrong, return to this Ruyin, and live a stable and ordinary life, and the past few years can indeed be regarded as a quiet and good time. Although he is not very wealthy, and he is busy working for the county affairs, and he gets together less and leaves more with the two ladies, but the two ladies are the most virtuous and virtuous, and the three of them are each other's confidants, and they are very harmonious and harmonious.

Don't seek high-ranking officials, don't seek generosity, while serving the people, while enjoying the harmony of the piano, this seems to be Shu Yan's most ideal and favorite life. I thought that the years would continue to be quiet like this, but now it was the day of rest, and I should have been able to go home for a reunion, but I was trapped in the city by a group of traitors who were holding on to each other, and separated the two ladies from the city. I don't know when I will be able to break the siege, or even if I can do it. Forever it may be goodbye.

He is a lonely city besieged by heavy soldiers, and relatively speaking, the rural villages dozens of miles away seem to be safer than the city, Shu Yan is very glad that he did not bring the two ladies to the city at the beginning. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a lot more relieved.

"There are more than 200 dead and wounded in Nancheng, but looking at the corpses of enemy soldiers on the ground, it is estimated that there are at least more than 1,000." Tang reported back to Shu Yantong.

"The other three are about the same."

"Really? We killed 1,000 enemies and lost 200 ourselves. With such a result, the enemy soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to afford it. ”

At the moment of the great enemy, the two showed confident smiles.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke rose from a building not far from the city gate, and although it was dark, it could still be identified as the Yongjing Temple of Kamodu.

"It's not good, that Hu monk must have been poisoned by the Huns." Although he is incompatible with Gamodu in terms of position and concept, and the two sides hate each other, Shu Yan does not want him to be killed, and it is inevitable to feel sorry for him at this moment.

Tang Hui snorted and said, "That Magadha Bald Dao has already hidden in the city, what are you worried about here?" ”

"What? He's already hiding in the city? ”

"Of course, as soon as he heard that the Hun soldiers were about to invade the southern city, he was the first to run into the city."

"This Hu monk! At the beginning, I had to be so ashamed to talk about it, how did the Huns come, and now they are running faster than anyone else! ”

Shu Yan went down to the city tower and saw Gamotu meditating in a corner under the base of the city wall. At this time, Gamo Du also saw Shu Yan from afar, stood up and left.

Thinking of the big event of Jiamodu's destruction of the armor, and mocking himself many times and going against himself, Shu Yan was annoyed and walked a few steps to Jiamodu: "Gamodu, you have been, even if the Huns come, you can't help you, but you still have to educate them." We must also learn from the Buddha to cut meat and eat eagles, to purify the people, and to relieve the suffering of all sentient beings. Now that they have come and burned down your monastery, and you have run into the city first, what is the matter? ”

Although Gamodhu was very weak-minded, he was covered by his big black face, and his appearance was not very revealing. Of course, he would not honestly listen to Shu Yan's questioning. Seeing Shu Yan rushing towards him, he quickly quickened his pace to dodge. As he walked, he also said eloquently: "The Huns are barbaric, brutal, and sinful, and there is no need to educate them." Good and good, sinful and sinful. The Tao is reincarnated, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. The Huns will not have a good result, there will be no good result. ”

"Do you want to cross the multitude out of affliction? Now that the suffering is coming, why don't you see it? Hey, hey, hey......"

Shu Yan shouted several times in the back, but Gamo Du didn't look back, and went straight to the direction of Shifu to find Biyu.

Liu Mang besieged the city but could not break it, and suffered heavy losses, so he had to stop temporarily.

Although Ruyin was not conquered, the feeling of being besieged was undoubtedly quite uncomfortable. Isolated and helpless, everything is interrupted, no matter how well prepared the food and grass weapons are, there will eventually be a depleted one, and it is easy to despair. The news that Biyu crossed the river still spread far and wide, but fortunately, the soldiers and civilians of Ruyin recognized the situation clearly, and after so many tenacious battles, they had great trust in Shu Yan. Everyone is united, fully supports the anti-Japanese war, and vows to live and die with Ruyin City.

The temporary court formed by Sima Ye, who was also besieged and proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, was a different scene, falling into a deep despair of Zheng

Although Emperor Huai Sima Chi was also based on the crisis, the main framework of the Great Jin Dynasty still existed at that time, and all systems could barely operate, and he was in his twenties and thirties during his reign, when he was the most in the prime of life, and there was even a flash in the pan when Emperor Wu was alive; But now Sima Ye was only thirteen years old when he ascended the throne, and he was still underage, and he needed someone else's idea for everything, and at this time, the Great Jin Dynasty was gone, and the temporary imperial court was purely a remnant of life, barely a rabble. Don't be a Huns, even the subjects of the Great Jin Dynasty don't regard him as a real emperor, it can be said that the people are not popular, and everyone rebels and leaves. He has repeatedly issued edicts to Sima Rui, the king of Langya, and other members of the Sima royal family who have heavy troops, asking them to jointly raise troops to exterminate Liu Cong and strive to restore the homeland of the Central Plains, but I don't know whether they are really powerless or deliberately unwilling to obey the edict, Sima Rui and other feudal towns have never returned to save the imperial court. Soon, the city of Chang'an was besieged by Xiongnu soldiers.

The fornicating court only has the name of the court, not the reality of the court. The most important thing is that the taxes cannot be collected, and it all depends on the patchwork. Don't raise soldiers, even the palace itself is difficult to maintain. If you go back hundreds of years, in the most glorious era of Chang'an City, with a population of one million, tens of thousands of cars, overflowing granaries, and full treasury, even if there is no foreign aid, you can only rely on the power of one city to do a long-term deal with the besieging soldiers. But Chang'an fell to this time, only four cars could be found in the whole city, the people were all in exile, in addition to the soldiers, the population was only a hundred households, and the treasury granary was even more empty, what to resist? It didn't take long for all the grain to be exhausted, and only a little koji left in Taicang remained. The koji is not eaten directly at all, but it is always made of grain. The ministers mashed the koji and made porridge for Sima Ye to eat. Even if it is inedible, it can only be eaten by Sima Ye alone, and others can only watch dryly. Within a few days, the koji was also exhausted. If it drags on any longer, there will be no need to be broken down, and all the subjects will starve to death. At the end of the mountain and the water, and in desperation, Sima Ye made a difficult and painful decision - Kaesong surrendered.

Throughout the ages, warlords have fought each other, attacked each other, and it is not unusual for Kaesong to surrender to countless generals. But Sima Ye is a dynasty, and his surrender of Kaicheng represents the end of a dynasty, which is a historic event and of great significance.

In the mournful weeping of the civil and military ministers, Sima Ye rode in a sheep cart, naked and shirtless, with a jade mouth, and went out of the city with a coffin to ask for surrender, just as Sun Hao, the late emperor of Eastern Wu, descended to his grandfather, Sima Yan, the emperor of Wu.
